Three Ways to Win More Sales with AI Personality Insights

While some sellers are finding that AI tools lower response rates and drive up spam warnings, Winmo users are taking a different approach, using AI to personalize their outreach to advertising decision-makers at scale (increasing win rates up to 6%). How? 

We asked customers with Winmo Personality Insights, powered by Humantic.ai, to tell us how they optimize sales outcomes. Here are the top three ways they’re utilizing AI-powered insight to win over brands and agencies:

1. Discover who the real decision-driver is

Winmo provides contact details and corporate hierarchies for thousands of top-spending advertisers and their agencies, but decisions are not always driven by the person nearest the top of the org chart.

Check out this VP’s Personality Profile, particularly their Decision-Driver assessment:

The “approval of other stakeholders” stands out, right? Our customers rely on that intel, based on the individual’s DISC personality (more on that later) to know when to multi-thread in other stakeholders, even if they are lower on the organizational food-chain, for instance:

Sr Marketing Director, Retail Brand

Despite being a subordinate of the VP, the Senior Marketing Director might be a better place to start, as they’re the type that can power decisions up the ladder.

2. Email Tips: Craft outreach that gets a response

Once you know that an account is a good fit and which decision-drivers to target, Winmo Personality Insights offer specific email tips known to increase response rates by 233%.

Winmo customers say they rely on these to tailor outreach that gets a reply sooner, reducing their time to first contact.

Here’s a snapshot of email tips for two key marketing decision-makers at the same major retailer in Winmo:

Marketing VP, Retail Brand

Sr Marketing Director, Retail Brand

Their personalities are different, and so you’d write very different messages to each of them. An exciting, testimonial-filled message to the Director would land you in the virtual trashcan, but to the VP, could earn you a reply.

3. Nail your first impression, and your pitch

You’ve got the meeting – score! Now what? Winmo power users harness AI-generated personality insights to determine the approach in the initial meeting. Here is where DiSC personality profiles come into play.

DiSC assessments that score a personality across Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Compliance are the basis for Humantic.ai insights present on Winmo’s 165,000 decision-maker profiles in the US and 36,000 budget-owners in the UK.

Don’t worry, you don’t need to be a certified DiSC profile analyzer to use these, as Winmo’s Personality Profiles turn the AI-generated traits into DOs and DONTs that any seller can follow with ease:

According to our users, these insights also come in handy in pitch and negotiation phases. Have you ever been on the last yard, only to hit a personality conflict you didn’t anticipate? For instance, using technical jargon with an I-type might lose their buy in, while overly optimistic promises with a C-type, even if well intentioned, will kill the sale. AI personality insights help you uncover these potential obstacles so you can swiftly sidestep landmines.

In all, sellers using AI-derived personality insights increase close rates by an average of 6%.
